I did a basic install of 2.0.7 on a redhat 6.2 machine. tar -xzv samba-2.0.7.tar.gz cd source ./configure --with-smbmount --with-syslog make make install I get all the binaries, man, scripts, code pages, swat. But I don't get anything else in /usr/local/samba/lib or var. The samba that was originally on the install was an rpm that put some of the files (e.g., smb.conf, smbpasswd) in different places on the file system. Does the new samba install automatically find these and think it wants to use them? Whenever I installed samba on a Solaris machine, it always installed everything to the right places. Thanks for any help. ******************************************************* Phil Hurvitz, Northwest Geospatial, LLP Geographic Information Solutions for the Next Century 5256 17th Ave NE | Seattle WA 98105 | Tel:(206)719-8782 phil@nwgeospatial.com | http://www.nwgeospatial.com *******************************************************
